Description Yannick Cholette 2003-09-17 18:11:13 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.3 
OS:          Linux

do these steps:

1. In konqueror, create a directory named "test" on a fat32 file system.

2. right clic on it and select properties

3. Change the name of the directory to "Test"

4. clic "Ok"

The test directory will now disapear. Just hit F5 to do a refresh and you will see it again, named "test" and not "Test". Even weirder, a new directory named "test" will exist inside the first instance of the test directory.

confirmed on kde 3.4 alpha. as a workaround, selecting the item, right-clicking, and then clicking rename to rename the directory works as expected.

Doesn't seem to be in either 4.0.3 or 3.5.7
Comment 3 FiNeX 2008-05-06 10:55:02 UTC
it works for me too (tested even on 3.5.9)
Comment 4 Yannick Cholette 2008-05-06 15:12:48 UTC
While it's true that the directory doesn't disappear anymore, there is still a new one created inside for no reason (on 3.5.9 anyway).

After some test. I've reproduced the bug: there is a new directory inside. But it doesn't happen every time.

It happen only on 3.5.9. On KDE4 you cannot.
Comment 6 FiNeX 2009-09-13 23:54:38 UTC
All reports about file management mode reported against KDE 3 (konqueror) has been closed: konqueror in KDE 3 is no more developed and mantained. All bugs and wishes which could be interesting for Dolphin in KDE 4 (the new KDE file manager) has been collected into a specific list.

Please try the new file manager before request new features and report bugs.

Before submitting new reports check carefully the already opened KDE/Dolphin reports in order not to add duplicates.

Many thanks.
